Friday

the day Good Friday and Easter. And there's no organ or accompanied music, and the statues are all covered. There are no masses on those days, but there are services that specifically refer to the death of Christ, a time to reflect and prepare for the main feast of Catholicism, Easter. I remember the Good Friday services being long.

So just because it's technically not a mass doesn't mean the Pentagon should ignore the rites.
